John Niland from Self-Worth Academy interviews John Perry who is a principal teaching fellow in healthcare communication in Southampton University. He is also a freelance coach, counselor and therapist with particular interest in psychological resilience.
In this episode, we explore student struggles when it comes to their self-worth, particularly when it relates to performance. Medical students are often the "top" students throughout their early student life... so when getting into university and not being able to be top of the class, many start facing new mental-health challenges. Self-worth soon sits centre-stage, sometimes in quite tragic ways.
